Having a backup power source in case of emergencies, during a camping trip or for just keeping all your essential devices powered can be an absolute lifesaver. If you don’t already have such a tool on deck, this reviewer-approved portable power station by EcoFlow is an option that you’ll probably be very happy with, especially since it’s on sale for $150 off right now at Walmart.

It’s no secret that we’re big fans of the Jackery Explorer 500, a popular 500-watt power station that we believe is a camper’s best friend. That being said, it doesn’t have the power to match this EcoFlow Delta 1000. For instance, this 1008-watt station can actually keep a regular fridge running, which some reviewers say saved all of their perishable food during a power outage. 

This particular model features nine different outlets and is compatible with a wide range of devices from power tools, drones, blenders, laptops and even CPAP machines. And in terms of fast charging, this station manages to reach 80% power in less than one hour of being plugged in. But if you don’t have an electric outlet handy, the EcoFlow can also be used as a solar generator with separate solar panels, or charged with the included car adaptor. 

Many people who purchased the EcoFlow say they’re grateful that they made the investment for a variety of reasons, and if you’re concerned about the potential of a dangerous weather event, then you probably will be, too. Keep reading to see some promising reviews or grab yourself a power station now, because this flash sale won’t last long. 

Promising Walmart reviews:

“We have three EcoFlow Delta portable power stations to run things when our house loses power, often during or after hurricanes. It runs our electric grill for two short grilling sessions. It once ran my electric cooler to keep my meds cool overnight. It powers up all our electronics during outages. Once we ran our fridge off of it, but it couldn’t last the whole night. It still kept things going long enough that we didn’t lose food. We have solar panels to recharge our DELTAs during longer outages. I wish EcoFlow also had an even more powerful household charger that could run a 5000 BTU AC window unit for emergency cooling needs. I am very glad we have our EcoFlow Deltas.” — Nini

“A recent storm resulted in a power outage that lasted several days. My Delta power station saved my refrigerated food. And when my power was restored, I recharged my Delta with the super fast XStream so I could take it to a friend who was able to run her refrigerator for 10 hours, saving her foods as well. I love my Delta so much that I bought a 2nd one.” — KarEliza

“Love this lil guy. Keeps a monitor running and my computer charged while I digital tech for photographers. Won’t last a whole day running everything, but it only takes about and hour to get back up to 80%, so I charge it during the lunch period and am good to go. Light weight, full of ports and outlets, I’m exceedingly happy. Thank you!” — Digi Guy

My Portable Power Station Is The Gift That Keeps On Giving
The Jackery Explorer 1500 portable power station(01 of03)
Open Image Modal
I have the Explorer 1500, which takes about four hours to charge via wall outlet and can power seven devices at the same time with one USB-C, two USB-A, three AC outlets and a car port. It's just over 35 pounds, so it's not super easy to tote to a campsite on foot, but it is easy to pack in a car. Thanks to its 1534Wh capacity and 1800W AC outputs, you can bring your goose-neck kettle to the woods with you, take your blender to the beach and set up an outdoor movie theater in your yard without tripping over extension cords. It lasts for over 100 smartphone charges, 12 laptop charges, 15 hours of refrigerator use or 21 hours of television.

Promising review: "Beyond exceeded my expectations. Delivery was very fast, and the package was packed very well. I got this for any extended power outages, after testing, I can run my full size washing machine at least 4 times between charges. I have no doubt it will run my refrigerator for days. Even running my washing machine, the fan did not come on. Correspondence with the company was also exceptional. I won't go into why but they went above and beyond to help. I would highly recommend." — Jeremy

The way smaller and more affordable Jackery Explorer 160 portable power station(02 of03)
Open Image Modal
For less than a tenth of the price of the Explorer 1500, the Explorer 160 is an affordable portable power bank with 167 watt-hours of energy storage. It's designed for charging smaller devices like phones, GoPros and laptops, and has a USB Type-C, USB-A, AC outlet and a cart port. It can't power devices that demand more than 100 watts, so this isn't the generator for blenders, electric kettles or pressure cookers. But it takes just five hours to charge from a wall outlet, then can charge a laptop for 10 hours, a small fan for 30 hours or a smartphone 16 times. It weighs less than four pounds and is just under 8 by 7 inches, so it's easy to take camping.

Promising review: "This is an easy to use, lightweight power supply with great power output. I used it primarily to light a string of LED lights at our cottage by our firepit down by the Lakeshore where I have no AC power. It works like a champ! A whole evening (probably 4 or 5 hours) down by the firepit and these lights only used about 12% of the battery power. I also charged my cell phone at the same time. It's a great product that I highly recommend." — John C

A mid-sized, mid-priced Jackery Explorer 500 portable power station(03 of03)

It's the best of both worlds: blenders in the woods and a 13-pound easy-carry weight. The Explorer 500 can power smaller devices like phones and laptops along with mid-size ones like air pumps, electric grills and kettles, coffee makers and microwaves. It has an AC outlet, three USB-A ports, two DC ports and a car port. It takes 7.5 hours to charge from a wall outlet and lasts for 53 smartphone charges or 5.5 hours of television.

Promising review: "I live in Florida and this is a must have for power outages, camping, and hurricane preparation. It’s so much easier than a traditional generator. It’s also a much cleaner solution and easier to have available when needed. The display screen is very helpful as far as knowing whether or not it’s fully charged. It has ample outlets and ways to charge it as well. I have to also get the solar panels. I cannot wait for my next camping adventure to use this. Update: Just pulled this out of the garage ahead of the upcoming hurricane Isaias and the charge level is still 100% from last year!" — S. Scott
